(sticK - 7 October 2014 ) Naturally it has escaped the attention of mainstream media...
But, the fact is that two Kiwi IT companies are still in, and contributing to, the world's largest IT project – the
Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope.
Thousands of radio telescopes to be built in Southern Africa and Australia between 2018 and 2024 will monitor and survey
space, producing vast amounts of data.
It will require real-time analysis of 120 terabytes per second – the equivalent of streaming one million high definition
movies at once.
